But he also cited the contemporary photographer Thomas Struth, whose technical precision Mr. Leong admires, as well as his images documenting cities. “You’re not only looking at what is depicted on the picture plane, but a kind of emotional context he is trying to describe,” he said. Citing Mr. Struth’s photograph of the Pantheon in Rome, he added: “There’s a heaviness, the weight of history and the weight of the light. A certain sense of sadness about it.”
This exhibition celebrates the Museum's unparalleled holdings of photographs by Thomas Struth, one of the most important and influential photographers of the last half-century.http://met.org/1sQ3E1n
